UNLIKELY that he will be leading figure

A MUGWUMP VIEW.

The result of the elections this year is
awaited with peculiar interest as an jndi-
cation of the tendency of political SYM
pathy, which now before the election is
singularly obscure. The election will
throw great light upon the proba BILE course
of events next year. Thus, If New York
should be lost 10 the Democratic party by
a heavy vote, the denomination of the
President would be less certain than 1t
now seems to be, because the loss would
show that the indispensable electoral vote
OF his own state is not assured to him.
Again, il the loss should be plainly due
to he dlminution OF the Democratic by
the Labor vote, the result would probably
secure the nomination OF Mr.. Blaine by
the Republicans, because it would en-
courage them to believe that by plural
ity be might carry New York. There is
undoubtedly certain Democratic vote
which will be quietly thrown with latent
to defeat the Democratic ticket in New
York, in. order to shake the certainty Of
the Presidents nomination. His 0ppo-
nents in his party would willingly see
Democratic defeat this year il ii would
probably iDjure ms chances next year
If, therefore, Notwithstanding this Demo
cratic opposition aud the diversion of the
Labor vote, the Democrats should carry
the election, the Republicans would have
to reinQush the bope of New York 10 the
election OF next year, and the renomina-
ton of Mr.. Blaine would become more
uncertain. Yet he will probably be very
loath to abandon the opportunity of an
other trial -Harper's Weekly.

IT is brazen, to say nothing more, for
the free traders 10 assert that there is 3
tariff bounty on coal eqnal to the average
wages per ton paid workmen for mining
coal. On page AZ of the tariff compila-
ton of 1884, issued bv the United States
Treasury Department, second line from
the top of the page, paragraph 627, ''coal,
anthracite" is designated as one of the
articles exempt from duty" Anthracite
coal is the only coal which is mined,
shipped and sold by ring fixing prices
according 20 its own extortionate greed,
and there is no tariff on it.

SPEAKING of President Cleveland's re-
ception at Atlanta, Ca, the Chicago Jour
nal remarks:
The sentiments of the people were in
dictated in the decorations of the city, in
which various limitations and combna-
tions of the rebel flag predominant. In
one place the picture Of Jeff Davis, dec
grated with the rebel colors, was conspicu-
ously displayed. Other designs disguised
somewhat the traitorous emblem, but in
Dictated enough to show that tribute to
the lost cause was the chief thing intend
ed. 1t was announced with flourish of
trumpets that the president would ride
through the streets in the same carriage,
drawn by the same horses, in which
president Davis had recently made a
triumphal procession through the city,
garlanded with flowers. This fact was
expected to add greatly TO the interest of
the occasion, as it undoubtedly did. 1t
would be hard to say whether the crowds
that thronged the streets were in their
hearts shouting more for Cleveland or for
JEFF Davis.

THE Chicago Railway Club, composed
of master csr-huilders, at meeting last
week decided that the car stoves must
go, and appointed a committee to confer
with the Eastern Railroad Club in New
York on the subject. 1t is proposed to
heat the cars by steam supplied by the
engine With the stoves the oil lamps
should also be removed from the cars. In
the Kouts disaster they did as much to
burn the train and the passengers as the
stoves did. Electricity should be substi-
tuted for oil for Illuminating purposes.
